About .se Domains

The Internet Infrastructure Foundation is the sponsor and Hexonet aka 1 Api GmbH is our backend provider for the country-code top-level domain name (ccTLD) .se extension that represents Sweden.

Who can register .se domains?

Anyone can register .se domain names, however, if the registrant is an organization or company, they must provide the VAT number. If the registrant is a individual, the individual's personal ID number will need to be listed in the VAT field.

When registering a .se domain, you must follow specific requirements.

  • Must use: 3 - 63 characters
  • Can use: Letters (a-z characters), numbers (0-9) and hyphens (except in the 1st or last characters of the domain name), Special characters (e.g., & and #)

Features

  • Registration length: 1-10 years
  • Renewal length: 1-9 years
    • Your .se domain name renews before its expiration date. The renewal date depends on whether the domain is set to auto-renew or manually renew. We attempt auto-renewal on the first day of the month prior to the domain name's expiration date.
    • If the renewal attempt fails, we re-attempt renewal on the 10th of the month and again on the 20th of the month. If we cannot auto-renew the domain name and you do not manually renew it by the 20th of the month prior to the expiration date, you can attempt to recover it, and there might be a fee to do so. Please reach out to our GoDaddy Guides for help.
    • For example, if your .se domain name expires Oct. 10, we attempt auto-renewal Sept. 1, Sept. 10, and Sept. 20. If we cannot auto-renew the domain name, you must manually renew it by Sept. 20.
